Would Lin?ux have been affected by such virus preloads

[Phil Thayer]

Because they are trying to get as much as they can for the least amount
of money.  It happens all the time.  You can buy a 1TB external disk for
about $500 but a quality SCSI array would be much more expensive.
However, if your 1TB disk fails you lose everything.  If you lose a disk
in a SCSI array you don't.  More and more people are trying to do things
with as little money as possible and are sacrificing the security that
comes along with the higher price of quality hardware.
 
Also, because they might be just plain stupid.  :)

	why would government agencies use large portable hard drives to
store databases?
	
	Quote:
	Around 1,800 of the portable Maxtor hard discs, produced in
Thailand, carried two Trojan horse viruses: autorun.inf and ghost.pif,
the bureau under the Ministry of Justice said.
	
	The bureau said that hard discs with such a large capacity are
usually used by government agencies to store databases and other
information.
